Description
Hornbeer is a farmhouse brewery founded in the beginning of 2008 by Gunhild and Jorgen Fogh Rasmussen. The first brewery was very small, brewing only 300 liter batches. But end of July 2008 the brewery burnt down to the ground. Now Gunhild and Jorgen had to start again from scratch. In January 2009 the new brewery started operations. Nowadays the production is around 2000 hl/year. Hornbeer is well known for a very different assortment. Hornbeer´s philosophy is that the beers should be distinctive but still very drinkable.

Black with a lasting light brown head. Roast aroma with some wood notes, and some licorice. Sweetish flavour with burned and roasted malt and a touch of smoke. Wood and a hint of rum behind all the wonderful roastedness.

Cloudy amber with a small off-white head. Fruity malt aroma, with some citrus hops, lots of dried fruits and sherry notes, and also a hint of honey - probably also from the alcohol. Sweet malty flavour with not quite enough balance.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Pours completely opaque black with a small and creamy off-white head. Aroma of burned malt and rum. Quite full-bodied with burned, ashy malt and a lightly whiff of rum. Dry and burned finish. Sweet but nice. The alcohol is surprisingly well hidden. 310808

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Aroma of overripe fruit and alcohol. Full-bodied with plenty of caramel and overripe fruit and a touch of ashes. Lightly bitter finish with some alcohol. I bet this will gain with some age. 310808

100ml from a bottle at EBF 08. Very cool label art. Pours a body dark as pitch, with a brownish top. Roasted smell of dark chocolate. Mixed flavour of anise, coffee and cocoa. Very smooth and rather dry in the mouth. Noticeable alcohol. Another pleasant Danish stout! (Copenhagen, 14.09.2008).

Hazy, dark orange body. Firm hopped aroma followed by sweet, late fruits in flavour with caramel malts, and slowly ending with moderately bitter. Still a bit on the sweet side. Medium palate (sampled from bottle at EBF, 13.09.2008).
